Matter and Measurement Mrs. Alvarez

 Definition: Mass per unit volume of a substance  Formula: D = m/V ; units: g/mL, g/cm 3, kg/L

 Sample Problem A piece of copper has a mass of g. It is 9.36 cm long, 7.23 cm wide, and 0.95 mm thick. Calculate density (g/cm 3 ).

 2. Use of density as a conversion factor:

Sample Problem: Mercury (Hg) has a density of 13.6 g/cm 3. What is the mass of 95 mL of Hg in grams? In pounds?  First, note that 1 cm 3 = 1 mL  Strategy 1.Use density as a conversion factor to calculate mass (g) from volume. 2.Convert mass (g) to mass (lb) Need to know conversion factor; 454 g = 1 lb

 Density of water changes with temperature – why?

 Intensive property - is a physical property of matter that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system  Examples: density, color hardness, melting point, boiling point  Extensive property – any property that depends on the size of the system. A property that changes as the amount of matter changes.  Examples: mass, volume, temperature, energy released/absorbed

 State of matter: gas, liquid, solid  Kinetic Molecular Theory: A theory of the behavior of matter at the molecular level  Kinetic Energy: The energy of a moving object, dependent on its mass and velocity  K.E. = 1/2mv 2

 Matter has both _______ and _________  Macroscopic –measurable and observable to the naked eye  Macroscopic properties - color, length  Submicroscopic or particulate –not measurable with a microscope  Particle size, chemical bond length

 3 examples  2 forms of energy  Is energy a form of matter

 A. Measurement Systems – Definition and use of SI (metric) system  Metric:English:

 B. Prefixes (see page 25 in textbook) also on white board

 Measurement System – in summer work C. Length base unit – meter  Conversions: 2.54 cm = 1 inch

D. Mass ◦ base unit – kilogram  Conversions: g = 1 pound (only on earth!)

E. Time base unit – second  Conversions: 1 hour = 60 minutes;  1 minute= 60 seconds (NOTE THESE ARE EXACT NUMBERS)

 A value that is calculated from other measured values; not directly measured ◦ Volume – L x W x H

G. A problem solving method Definition: used to convert one or more units to other units ◦ Example: how many seconds in a day ?? ◦ 1 day 24 hours 60 min 60 sec = 1 day 1 hour 1 min

 A. Express the quantity 1.00 ft in different dimensions (inches, meters).

 100 cm = 1m  454 g = 1 lb  Exact and don’t impact significant figures

 Simple conversion: How many cm 3 in 2.57 L?

 How many inches are equal to 4.00km?

 A speed of 80. km/hr is equivalent to how many inches per minute?

 150.0km 2 = ? mm 2

 Convert 3.50 g/km 3 to kg/m 3

 Accurate – close to the true value  Precision – reproducibility of the measurement  Percent Error:

 Numbers in math  Vs.  Numbers in chemistry

 State the problem ◦ Organize the information ◦ Determine what you know & what you need to know  Determine the strategy ◦ May stem from prior knowledge  Write down each step ◦ NO WORK NO CREDIT!!  Check your answer ◦ Is it reasonable????
